Respuesta :
The probability that the husband earns less than $25,000 is 0.496.
Given that,
A total of 500 married working couples were polled about their annual salaries, with the following information resulting:
Husband
Wife Less than $25,000 More than $25,000
Less than $25,000 212 198
More than $25,000 36 54
Thus, for instance, in 36 of the couples, the wife earned more and the husband earned less than $25,000. If one of the couples is randomly chosen.
We have to determine,
What is the probability that the husband earns less than $25,000?
According to the question,
The probability that the husband earned less than $25,000 is,
Total number of couples = 500
The count of husbands earning less than $25,000 is 212 and 36.
[tex]\rm Probability = \dfrac{Total \ number \ of \ couples}{Husband \ earn \ less \ than \ 25000}\\\\ Probability= \dfrac{212+36}{212+36+198+54}\\\\Probability = \dfrac{246}{500}\\\\Probability = 0.496[/tex]
Hence, The probability that the husband earns less than $25,000 is 0.496.
